Ugly Love will be available for sale at RIPT Apparel this Thursday. It’s only up for 24 hours starting at 1 AM EST so don’t miss out. And it’s only $10.
Ugly Love is a piece of a larger project I was working on last year. The artwork is a vast departure from my normal style, but was purposely designed to be cutesy and effeminate due to the piece’s content. This part of the design works well on a shirt layout and still tells a simple message. The other part of the piece — where beautiful clouds are raining acid down upon a group of frolicking bunnies, searing flesh and slowly killing them — probably wouldn’t make that great of a shirt.
I realize this piece isn’t for everyone and there will be a strong like/dislike reaction to it, but I’m very grateful to RIPT for taking a chance on it and am happy to be part of their designer family.
